As has been said before, the %post script is executed in another terminal, so put these lines in first:
#Change to virtual terminal number 3 to see echoed output
/usr/bin/chvt 3
And these lines behind your script:
#Change to virtual terminal number 3 to see echoed output
/usr/bin/chvt 1
Also, make sure the chvt package is installed.
As for network, are these files still correct after you reboot? Try the archives, I've read something like this before, I think that time Kudzu was to blame...

Subject: problem %post script
hello all
In fact I have 2 problem (I have made my own red hat 7.2cd that's for why you can see 'rtl los in %packages')
-first is that when i put this post script on my kickstart file the installation stop just after the boot installer and i have a lovely blue screen and when i execute the script after the installation it cause no trouble
- the second is not about kickstart but maybe someone can help me when i execute that scrip all my parameters become good but when i reeboot the "ifconfig" is erased
here is my kickstart file
thanks in advance for your help
bye
